Cookies Anyone? // Kue Kering Jahe
Hi Friends!
Hope this finds you well.
I baked cookies today :D
Cookies make me happy. Well baking always makes me happy. So am in a happy mood at the moment lol
My 4 yo definitely has the Halloween fever. He is very looking forward to Halloween. I wanted to bake cupcakes but he wanted Halloween cookies. Since Halloween is still a couple of weeks to go, but Thanksgiving is next Monday, I baked him Autumn-themed cookies instead hahaha
Hai Teman!
Tadi siang aku bikin kue kering. Rasa jahe.
Nih orang bule-bule punya tradisi, kalau musim dah mulai dingin, mereka suka bikin kue kering rasa jahe yang disebut dengan gingerbread cookies.
Si percil sih mintanya agar kue keringnya dihias ala Halloween, dia ga ga sabar buat Halloween, namun Senin depan adalah hari Thanksgiving dan Halloween masih ntar akhir bulan. Jadi aku hias kue keringnya sesuai tema Musim Gugur.
The following cookies are gingerbread with super easy icing. I did not want to make royal icing today, so a simple icing was good enough.
I free-cut the leaf cookies as I did not have leaf-cookie cutter. They turned up fine, if I may say so myself lol
I decided not to icing the leaves but instead I made colorful dough, which of course gingerbread is brownish color, so making yellow leaf was not possible. My leaves are only greenish, brownis, reddish, in the end. Still pretty!
Resep kue kering dibawah ini merupakan resep andalanku. Kalau teman tidak punya telur ataupun alergi telur, kue kering berikut ini tidak menggunakan telur dan juga tanpa produk hewani lainnya, alias vegan.
Ga ribet bikinnya, apalagi kalau punya cetakan kue kering, cepat dan ringkas. Aku sih punya namun tak lengkap. Untuk model lainnya ada, tapi karena Musim Gugur identik juga dengan daun yang berjatuhan, karena ga ada cetakannya, aku potong sendiri pakai pisau hahahaha
Bikin glazurnya pun males yang neko-neko. Bener deh, resepku keseringan anti ribet :D
Here is the recipe if you'd like to make them as well :D My recipe is also perfect to be used for building gingerbread house, btw!
- 2 flax eggs
- 3 1/4 c flour
- 1/2 c molasses (divide)
- 1 tsp BSoda
- A pinch of salt
- 1 tsp each cinnamon powder and nutmeg powder
- 1 adult point finger of fresh ginger, scraped, crushed, to produce juice. Use only the juice, discard the flesh
- 1/2 c coconut palm sugar
- 8 tbsp vegetable shortening
Nih yah resepnya kalau teman tertarik. Oia, karena adonannya kan cokelat gelap tuh, jadi aku daun-daunku ga ada warna kuningnya wkwkw
- 2 telur vegan, dari biji rumi *atau 2 telur ayam*
- 3 1/4 gelas terigu
- 1/2 gelas molasses (di Indonesia ada ga yah?)
- 1 sdt soda kue
- sejumput garam
- masing-masing 1 sdt kayu manis bubuk dan pala bubuk
- 1 jari telunjuk orang dewasa, jahe segar, buang kulitnya, remukkan dan ambil airnya saja
- 1/2 gelas gula palem
- 8 sdm mentega putih/mentega/margarin
- Mix dry ingredients
- Cream shortening and brown sugar
- Beat in 1/4 c molasses and flax egg
- Add in dry mix a little at a time
- Beat in the other 1/4 c molasses
- Knead a little (Take some away, and color as you wish, to make leaves)
- Roll flat and cut as you like
- Bake on preheated 350 F for 10-11 mins
- Cool on rack completely before decorating.
- Campurkan bahan kering
- Kocok mentega putih dan gula palem hingga agak pucat, masukkan telur vegan/telur ayam
- Tuang molasses
- Masukkan bahan kering sedikit demi sedikit
- Uleni, gilas, potong dengan cetakan
- Panggang pada oven yang sudah dipanaskan dulu 350 F selama 10-11 menit
- Dinginkan sebelum dihias
For the icing, all I did was mixing icing sugar with a little water, a little light corn syrup, almond essence and food coloring of your choice. I did not use measurement to be honest, just until consistency is right.
While the turkey, apple, pumpkin are with the icing, the squirrel was with melted DF chocolate chip.
Untuk glazur sih aku ga pakai ukuran yah, hanya gula bubuk dicampur sedikit air matang/susu cair, sedikit perisa makanan, sedikit pewarna makanan. Sudah itu doang. Kalau buat mata ayam kalkun serta bulunya tupai, aku pakai coklat leleh.
Gampang kan? :D
Ta-daaaaa
They are delish!
Thanks for looking, you guys, and see you tomorrow again :)

Gingerbread is a favourite in our house. I am finding the kids here (Nicaraguan) also love gingerbread. They never had any before I baked some cookies for them. I think a very large gingerbread house is in order for Christmas...
you are awesome! and oooh would love to see a gingerbread house!
we enter competition yearly in November, but am not sure I would want to participate this year. somehow i am lazy for everything. I cant wait for Thanksgiving and Halloween but I dont feel like doing nothing, idk why. I brought it up to my husband just 2 days ago that I dont feel like entering for this year's competition, and he called me crazy hahahah

I wish I had one of those cookies!
Panama is too far, I have yet to figure out how to ship cookies overseas that wont arrive in crumbs or stale hard for being too long in the clouds or warehouse idk how those mail companies do their magic lol otherwise would ship some!
Lol. I appreciate the thought you've put into working out the logistics.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE what you did with the colored dough for the leaves. Those are perfection :) Such a wonderful creative idea.
if it wasnt gingerbread cookies, i would have yellow portion and they would be extra prettier :D
These are so cute! I especially love the leaf cookies.
Thanks for sharing your recipe! ♥
many thanks and my pleasure!! <3
They look perfect!!! Simple icing? Hahaha hat turkey, pumpkin, squirrel, apple and even the leaf! I can't even pinpoint which is my favorite. Hahaha I like gingerbread cookies too, maybe because of the gibberish flavour in it. It reminds me of Christmas :) You are so talented to cut the leaf without a cookie cutter or mould, @thekitchenfairy! :)😍
its similar to Lapis Legit flavor @happycrazycon, but with additional ginger hahaha
terimakasih <3
